Ecstatic Friends of Fulham are thrilled for midfielder Alexander Iwobi’s two goals heroics that helped the home side bring down Brighton on Thursday in their midweek Premier League fixture.

Forget that the Seagulls can ruffle Fulham’s feathers. Thursday’s 3-1 loss at Craven Cottage to the the Lily Whites is only Brighton Hove Albion’s third loss of the season. But it is the newest in a string of nine winless games in the top flight against nemesis Fulham.

Adoring Fulham fans love their team for its resilience and craft against their higher placed opponent on the Premier league table but love Iwobi more.

In the fans’ reaction after Thursday’s game on the ‘Friends of Fulham’ forum, diehard Cottagers supporters rooted for their team and players, showering both with plenty of love.

Agreed, he has been terrific, and very enjoyable to watch the way he plays, seems a very positive fella.

A game of 4 quarters.

Luckily we were brilliant in the last quarter.

Have to confess I was skeptical about the Iwobi signing at the time, but he’s been consistently excellent

There’s a punter running  on the pitch, the bench are laughing their heads off so seems a funny one, shame the camera cuts away.
